Requry/Connection Speed Recently, I have witnessed the 'requery' actually work! No BS! I was completely astounded!! The god damn thing actually does work,.... sometimes.
I ran a search, requested a download which returned 'requery'; I let it go 'requery' while requesting other downloads; I then got distracted (several mins.) and when I returned, there it was, downloading! I couldn't believe it.
Personally, I view 'requery' as the kiss of death to an upload request, and will 'repeat search' manually.
I view posted connection speed as more of a approximation of download proformance. I'm connected by Cable/DSL and have never see an upload speed greater than 7Kb/s, although I have set my upload to 100%. The fastest I have downloaded was 30~35 Kb/s. Is this reasonable?
Recently I took my laptop to school (university) and connected to the network there, and established download speeds of 300Kb/s. Curiously, the fastest upload (of several) was 60Kb/s. It is obvious that the limiting factor is the slower connection, but am I missing something. My upload bandwidth percent is set to 100%...? |
